“…On-going research and development is beginning to demonstrate that grid fluctuations can be corrected by alternatively incorporating MES into the system [10][11][12][13]. References [10][11][12][13] provide comprehensive evaluations of viable storage technologies, which represent potentially good candidates for incorporation into electrical grid systems. These range from pumped-hydro, compressed air, flywheels, super-conducting coils, hydrogen (in fuel cells) to chemical techniques including batteries.…”

“…These range from pumped-hydro, compressed air, flywheels, super-conducting coils, hydrogen (in fuel cells) to chemical techniques including batteries. The relative power and storage capabilities of the various storage methods are usefully emphasized in [10] and [13]. On the other hand while the Teleke paper [11] is also directed at enumerating and describing all of the major storage techniques, it additionally provides a grid case study.…”

Climate change is mainly attributed to the burning of fossil fuels. To solve the problem, current inhabitants have to dispense with fossil fuels as a source of power. It has been demonstrated that this can be secured before 2050 by transitioning to renewable sources of energy. Massive energy storage (MES) incorporated into long distance high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems is the key technology for the transition. This paper describes the current state-of-the-art in electricity grid configurations. It demonstrates how MES, and other back-up local electricity storage schemes represent a natural way of buffering electricity consumers from the intermittency of inherent in the primary renewable systems. Consequently, it can solve the base-load issues and facilitate a global transition to 100% renewable energy sources over the next fifteen to twenty years.

“…With the usage of energy storage systems in such applications, the need for energy transmission lines that have a high investment cost is highly reduced that is an important issue especially for the most secluded areas of insular grids [57]. From this point of view, different applied energy storage systems in sample insular areas are given in Table 5.…”

Insular electricity grids are considered to have a more fragile structure than the mainland ones due to several factors such as the lower inertia because of lower number of generation facilities connected to the system, absence or insufficient interconnection with the main grid, etc. The recent trend of integrating large portions of environmentally sustainable power generation units that have a significantly volatile nature in the generation mix (such as wind and solar energy conversion systems) within this fragile structure, poses profound challenges that need deeper and specific analysis. This study aims to provide an overview of insular power system structures and operational requirements, especially under increasing penetration of renewable energy sources. Firstly, a general evaluation of insular power systems is presented. Then, potential challenges are thoroughly discussed together with opportunities to tackle them. Future technological developments, as well as innovative applications are also given special attention. Hence, this paper contributes to the scarce literature regarding insular power systems by providing a critical overview of issues regarding their operation and possible solutions.
